How do you buy your Disney park tickets?

[CJK]

For our next trip, we only need 2 4-day parkhopper passes (with no plus features). Does anyone know how/where we should buy these tickets? We can't buy them at CAA or at the Disney Store since these tickets aren't sold at either place. Should we just buy them at the gate, or is there a cheaper way that I don't know about? Thanks for your help!

You can pre order from Disney. Gate price is $233 and advance price is $215 with a $3 shipping charge. That seems to be the only place I can find that sells the 4 day with no options.

Thank you! I also heard that you can order them from Disney, but don't have them shipped. They'll keep them for us at Guest Relations and we can pick them up when we get there and not pay the shipping fee (but still get the advanced ticket price). I think we'll try it out. We still have plus's leftover from old tickets so we don't need to buy them again this time. Thanks again!

Is there a way to order the 4 day hopper pass (without the plus) and have them ship it to a Canadian address? I noticed it wasn't an option online.

Thanks!

I got my 5-day PHP pass through www.ticketmania.com . It was less expensive than Disney, and they shipped it for free to my Canadian address. They were the best deal I could find, and no shipping costs. I also would keep my head up for information from www.mousesavers.com , If you are a registered member of hers, and receive her email, sometimes she has additional savings on tickets through certain websites.
Anyways, that was the best deal I could find.

Thanks everyone. Momofem&josh - I found from another thread, that you can phone Disney and order parkhopper passes (without the plus features) and have guest relations hold them until you get there to pick them up. Therefore, there won't be a shipping fee but you'll still get the advanced ticket price. I've got 3 left over plus features on my last parkhopper so I don't need to buy anymore plus features. HTH!

I "discovered" Florida Travel, even though I drive past their Cambridge, Ontario office on a weekly basis. The website is http://www.floridatravelusa.com/ and the toll-free number is 800-430-2435. These are the folks who publish the Florida Travel magazine you see at Chapters. 4-day adult PHs (no plus) are $225.13 US through them; child 4-day PH is $182.53 US. Not sure how these compare with Disney prices -- but their 7 day PHP price is one of the cheapest I have found.
